CALLING ALL CHINESE AUTISTICS! The current chinese word for autism is 自閉症 (lit. self, closed, disease). I am looking for a community effort into creating a new word in chinese that is far more positive. Please post suggestions. If you are not chinese, retweets are appreciated!

2. Elaborating with more info. A chinese person proposed 自可愛 as a new word for autism, with 可愛的人 (cute person) to mean autistic person. 自可愛 (self cute), which some feel is infantalising. I appreciate the sentiment and the effort, but this would make me uncomfortable.

3. Do you have any suggestions of your own to put forth? Again, I want this to be a community effort. What words do you think could be used to represent us in a more positive way, that has positive connotations?

AA and South East Asian! I’m wondering if that counts though? I don’t think it doesn’t but am not sure. I can’t speak Chinese.

Great minds think alike! I have always seen this as my mission, however after many years of campaigning this I think there are some works need to be done before we can make this change. I'm currently doing some research to tackle the real issues as a fundamentals stage to move on
